Bad Names For Your Ships
If it is your goal to inspire fear in your would be enemies, then I strongly suggest that you NEVER name your ships the following names. (List to grow I hope)
1. Love Boat 2. Daise Peddle 3. Peace Lover 4. Flower Power 5. Anti War Movement 6. Free Love 7. Unarmed 8. Love Machine 9. Lover 10. Charity |

Re: Bad Names For Your Ships

28. Star Destroyer Mark One http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif edit: oh, that's a STRATEGICALLY bad name, not an IDEOLOGICALLY bad name http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif |

Re: Bad Names For Your Ships
Atrocities, I think you've got it all wrong. What's worse, being afraid of a fleet of oncoming Devastator dreadnoughts, or the terror induced by the arrival of a group of Fluffy Bunnies?
41. Bullseye 40. Aimhere 39. Anonymous Red Shirted Crewman 38. Unlucky 37. Oops |
Re: Bad Names For Your Ships
But why stick to namby-pamby names? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I've got a whole names file full of 'extreme' names for ships. Beside the obvious like 'Blitzkrieg' or 'Heavy Hitter' I've got lots of ambiguous Catch-22 type names for the general 'I hate this' flavor of war that no 'realistic' empire would ever use. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif (Edited to fix the word 'sh-t' in several of these triggering automatic censorship...)

Re: Bad Names For Your Ships

Re: Bad Names For Your Ships
On a related subject, I used to have a gameboy sub game where you could name your Sub. My was the US Sub Standard.
Worst name for a ship: HMS. Invincible, as this name alone will result in the immediate and, often, pathetically stupid destruction of any ship. - SS. Can't Hit Me - USS. Essess - Sinker - Flounder - Derelict - Dereliction of Duty - SS. Oceanus (a Passenger liner that went down in 1991 and the crew all bailed and left the passengers behind. Note the captain was given a new command a few weeks laters of a Ferry). - Any ramming ship named "dodge" or "jumper" - Any tanker or highly-flammable ship named after a living, ruling emperor. |
